What we use

Cookiebot

Remembers which cookies you agreed to, so you are asked once rather than on every page. Without it there would be nowhere to record your answer, so this one is not optional.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Set when you use the contact form. It is how we tell a person from a script without making you solve a puzzle, and it is required for the form to work at all.

Google Analytics 4

Set only if you accept it. Counts visits and which pages get read, so we know what to write more of. It records your visit, not your identity, and we never see who you are.

What we don't use

No advertising or retargeting pixels, no social media trackers, and nothing that follows you to other sites. We don't sell or share what the analytics collect.

How to change your mind

Analytics only run if you agreed to them on your first visit. You can withdraw that at any time, and nothing on the site depends on it:

Change your cookie settings

Every browser can also block or clear cookies for a single site from its own settings. Google publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics everywhere at once:
